Life is full of ups and downs, but even in the valley there is hope…and help! Love Elgin Day is an outreach to provide physical, emotional and spiritual resources to Elgin families and individuals who are struggling to make ends meet. If that’s you, come to Love Elgin Day to be loved on.

What can you do?

• Pray for the coordinators, volunteers and most of all, the 3000 folks in our community we seek to serve on the 29th.
• You can sign up here if you would like to volunteer.
• Another opportunity to volunteer is at First Congregational Church from 9:30 - 3:00. Volunteers are needed to help sort clothes.
